I teach a wide variety of modules across English and Creative Writing. My research interests include: literature and the environment, literature and spirituality, poetry, and creative writing pedagogy.
Biography
I enjoy working across English literature and creative writing, with teaching experience that encompasses poetry, prose fiction, the Dymock Poets, American literature, ecopoetry, Romanticism, Shakespeare, and academic skills.
I have published two poetry pamphlets and my creative work has appeared widely in literary magazines. I have also carried out academic research on the work of poets such as Edward Thomas and Kathleen Raine, as well as on creative writing pedagogy.
